| Reverse description | The Genius of the Roman People stands in the field facing left, depicted as a nude or lightly draped male figure holding a patera in the right hand and a grain stalk or cornucopiae in the left, emblematic of abundance and divine favour bestowed upon Rome. The figure is rendered in a classical contrapposto stance, occupying the central field of the reverse. The encircling legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI is distributed around the periphery, expressing the dedication of the coinage by the Senate and People of Rome to their greatest princeps. The plain, unadorned exergue and open field are consistent with the austere elegance of Trajanic mint production at Rome. |
